Please help..

I recently found out that I'm pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, but me and my boyfriend are arguing over names! He wants to call them Maurice and Molly while I like Christiano (No relation to the footballer, it's an old family name) and Ekaterina. We'll be relocating to Barbados before the babies are born and I think my names will fit in with the relaxed feel, but my partner disagrees. He suggested I name one and he the other but Maurice and Ekaterina don't flow well. Please help!
Thank you :-)

you have to consider if they have the same initial - that things regarding their identity will become confused as they get older and obviously have the same birth date and initial - even thought hey are diferent sexes this might get confused in official local or national govt departments, schools, secondary school, colleges.

i remember being sent a benefots form back to me once with a big circle around the birth dates for the twins and a "SAME DATE??" Comment in biro - from some officious fuckwit who obviously only had one brain cell - and my twins dont even have the same initial.

How would you pronounce Maurice? In the UK it's pronounced like Morris usually, but in the US it's Maw-REESE, and maybe in Barbados too? Might go better with Ekaterina if pronounced the US way? I prefer Ekaterina by a long shot over Molly.

same as the above exactly!!!

Molly and Christiano would be ok together!

Ermm hard one, but TBH the only name I am keen on is Molly, I know someone who has just had twins and named them Molly and Harry!

My Barbadian dp says Maurice is likely to be pronounced Maw-REESE in Barbados. She laughed a bit at the idea of a 'relaxed feel', and said that naming there is still pretty traditional (i.e. names very recognisable in Britain).

why not Maurice and Katerina?

goes well.

why the E?

Wow, Barbados!!
